What are Lessons?

Cossemble’s Lesson module allows you to build visually engaging and cognitively challenging content using over 30 unique screen layouts. With so many screen layouts available, we offer unlimited possibilities to interactively present your information for maximum learner engagement. Lessons are built out screen by screen and can be configured in a myriad of ways to create the best possible learner experience.

The Lesson module is one of four module types available for creating course content inside Coassemble. It will be your go-to tool to create or convert your existing presentations or static documents into Coassemble content. Whether starting from scratch, converting Powerpoints, PDFs, workbooks, webinars, or face-to-face training content, the Lesson module can be used to build out training, screen-by-screen.

Step 1: Inside your Course, click the ‘Add module’ button from the course sidebar menu.

Step 2: This brings up the Module select modal — choose the ‘Lesson module’ option.

Step 3: Once the module has been added to your course, you can start adding screens to it. To add a screen, click the 'Add screen' button under the Lesson on the Course sidebar menu, or from the empty screen message.

Step 4: Choose the screen you would like to add. You can choose between a wide range of customizable screen layouts to present, display, and create activities to assist your learners in understanding and retaining key ideas and concepts. Ranging in levels of interactivity, screens are broken down into the following categories:

Each Lesson screen you add should cover a key piece of information; you don't want to overload learners by including too much on a single screen. Using a Powerpoint presentation as an example, the content you’d add to one Powerpoint slide should likely correspond to the content you might include in one Coassemble Lesson screen.

Consider when and how you will be assessing your learners. You can check in with them using Challenge lesson screens or a Pop quiz lesson screen to make sure they are paying attention and learning the required material. It's important to note that if you are going to need to formally assess them and require that they receive a passing score, you’ll want to split your content up into smaller lesson chunks, with corresponding Quiz modules between each Lesson.

Hot Tip: The Pop quiz lesson screen in the Lesson module is not a graded assessment so whatever you do, don't build out a 100-question Pop quiz using these!

You can control the way that your learner interacts with your content to require them to view and engage with all elements on the screen before they can advance using a variety of settings in Coassemble.

Learners will click through individual screens to master your training content. Rather than drowning in a sea of text or zoning out during yet another Powerpoint, learners will engage and interact with fun and colorful elements on the page. To complete a Lesson, they will need to have viewed each screen of your Lesson.

​

🔑Key takeaway: Lessons are the heart and soul of Coassemble. As the primary building blocks to your courses, you have loads of flexibility in the types of content you can bring in and the way it can be displayed. Best of all - you don't need to be a designer to create something beautiful and engaging!
